Tea's Heart - Session 2

[idolpro]

INFO
❍ Characters are aware that Tea's heart is being threatened by CORRUPTION.

❍ If you're in the same run, you can interact!

❍ Unit abilities are MIGHT BE ON — if, and only if, Tea has seen them work or your character has explicitly told her about them — unless otherwise specified.
Nothing Up My Sleeve can't access locations outside of the heart.

❍ Canon abilities MIGHT BE ON —if, and only if, Tea explicitly knows that they're a thing — unless otherwise specified.

❍ Characters have whatever was on their person at the time, including their cell phone!

❍ Over the course of the heart, characters are very likely to be afflicted with STATUS EFFECTS. This will be OOCly determined by dice roll. You can have more than one status effect at a time, but multiples of the same don't stack.

The top levels that require a roll will have a note.

Each time you move to a different top level thereafter, you can roll 1d10 to see whether the effect lingers (1-6) or fades (7-10).

❍ Injury and death are possible.

[time to try and dodge the shot and lunge for the guard instead

Imeeji powers are off but who knows maybe his canon super durability will help him if he gets hit (probably not)]

Stop!!!

Re: DESCENSION

[featherbeaned]

The bullet hits its mark, and that really fuckin hurts, but your lunge was successful. You've got him right where you want him. You can strike. You can make him stop.

Re: DESCENSION

[1istheloneliest]

[OW OW OW

but like maybe he can knock this guy out and turn his attention to the others

he's really trying not to kill but he will if he needs to, he's a Hargreeves after all, he's done it before]

Re: DESCENSION

[featherbeaned]

You can. You're far stronger than them, killing would be laughably easy.

The others are all running for the closed door of the enclosure, fleeing for (as far as they know) their lives. Your instincts - your rage - urge you to give chase.

Re: DESCENSION

[1istheloneliest]

[let's give chase then! also maybe they'll lead to an exit/escape route]

Re: DESCENSION

[featherbeaned]

Most of them are too busy throwing themselves at the door in a mad panic to lead you anywhere. One yeets a briefcase of medical instruments at your head; another fumbles to load a dart gun with sedatives, their hands shaking.

Re: DESCENSION

[1istheloneliest]

[shrugging off the briefcase and aiming to knock out the guy trying to load the gun, if they all have to go down before exit search can continue so be it]

Re: DESCENSION

[featherbeaned]

You successfully knock them all out -

And find yourself back in the hallway, uninjured but aching where you were shot. Thw vines have crumpled to dust.

Re: DESCENSION

[1istheloneliest]

[so achey but aw yes vines defeated!]

I'm gonna need to soak in a bath for a week after this.

[time to keep on heading down the danger hallway]

Re: DESCENSION

[featherbeaned]

There's an alcove on your right.

Inside is a crystal statue of Miya's dragon form, crouching ready to pounce and with an expression of absolute focus. Blood red vines tangle around it.

Re: DESCENSION

[1istheloneliest]

[vine exterminating service here o7 let's touch the statue and get this show on the road]

Re: DESCENSION

[featherbeaned]

You're standing in the street, and somebody you love dearly is crumpled, bleeding, dying on the floor. The one who attacked them stands over their body.

What do you do?

1/2

[1istheloneliest]

[freezing up for a second because fuck]

Re: DESCENSION

[1istheloneliest]

[lunging for the attacker!]

Why would you do that!?

Re: DESCENSION

[featherbeaned]

They're laughing at you as they dodge nimbly to the side.

"Aww, you mad? What're you gonna do about it?"

Re: DESCENSION

[1istheloneliest]

I'll stop you.

[continuing to give chase with increasingly violent intent]

Re: DESCENSION

[featherbeaned]

"Oh, yeah? You will? Ha! I'd like to see you try. No, really. Please, make my day."

They mock and laugh as they dance around, always one step ahead.

They keep mocking and laughing even when you start to get closer.

Re: DESCENSION

[1istheloneliest]

[he's angry of course but now that this keeps dragging on he's remembering his combat training, everything he's worked on in private

time to start trying to predict and strike where they will be instead of giving chase

also even if can't hit them maybe he can put himself between them and the injured, that'd be some progress]

Re: DESCENSION

[featherbeaned]

SWING AND A MISS

SWING AND A MISS

Until the Mysterious Attacker finally darts in at you, ducking under your guard to slash at your ribs with a blade you didn't know they had

Re: DESCENSION

[1istheloneliest]

[UH-OH PLEASE SUPER DURABILITY BE A THING

but he's in range now so time to strike and/or body slam this jerk, blade be damned, and go for the kill if possible because obviously those are the stakes here]

Re: DESCENSION

[featherbeaned]

You are ABSOLUTELY BLEEDING but you will PROBABLY not die from it!

Unlike this jerk, who definitely does die. Good job, you won -

How do you feel?

Re: DESCENSION

[1istheloneliest]

I wish it hadn't come to that, but he wasn't going down any other way...

[going to go check on injured loved one though and wishing he had his coat to use to staunch the wound]

Re: DESCENSION

[featherbeaned]

Your loved one looks at you, wide-eyed, scared, blood bubbling on their lips.

They die like that, staring up at you.

And you find yourself back in the hallway, the vines crumbling away once more.

Re: DESCENSION

[1istheloneliest]

[well that was fucked up but he did clear the vines so...]

Gotta keep going.

[more hallway time!]

Re: DESCENSION

[featherbeaned]

There's an alcove on your left.

Inside is a crystal statue of Miya's dragon form in a defensive curl, teeth bared and ready to strike. Blood red vines tangle around it.
